Thank you for your interest in supporting the SVX World Network. Since
February 2001, we have provided this free service to all as a way to
collaborate, share, and just overall enjoy the experience of owning and driving
the Subaru SVX. We continue to be the largest and most active source of
information related to the Subaru SVX. Although the SVX is no longer produced,
this site continues its growth and we vow to continue support and services
related to the SVX for as long as we have the strong user base that makes this
site what it is today. To date, donations from active members have allowed this
site to exist, even when the administrators and founder have had a shortage of
funds. In 2005, we needed to add additional cooling to the server room to offset
building heat issues from additional equipment and servers that operate this
site. Without fail, the members here responded to the request for help and
raised enough money to buy a rather expensive portable air conditioner to meet
our needs. Two years later, we have reached another milestone.

The server the SVX World Network has been running on for so long is ready for
retirement. With some of the recent expansion of the SVXWN, we have been able to
collaborate a bit better through VoIP. Earl (ensteele) and myself discussed an
inportant upgrade option late last night and implemented an emergency plan. At
rougly 2am local server time (MST) svxistentialist (our Ireland based officer),
executed this plan that moved forward with an Ebay snipe. Since the gear is
located in Australia and the time the auction closed was not convenient for US
people, the competition was less than that of some US based auctions for the
same gear.

I am now announcing that with the help of svxistentialist, the snipe on the
auction was a success and server gear that would have cost us much more was
secured at prices roughly one-third the average going rate. We now need to raise
money to pay for the gear and put it into play. This is the final step in
providing the additional services I promised for contributing members. We did
not have the additional resources to add to our old server without bogging down
the main forums.

This being said, please use the links provided below for making contributions
for this fund raiser. (NOTE: please make sure all donation include your SVXWN
handle/screen name so we can track and upgrade accounts for those that help.) No
donation is too small. If you only have $5 to spare, we will appreciate it. If
the services this site has provided saved you money in any way, please think of
that. There are also a few of you that make money based upon the services of
this site. We hope to continue to build a symbiotic relationship.

I would like to take this last moment to thank ALL of you whom have continued to
make this place the outlet for everything SVX.

Paypal works well, but there is a $0.30 + 2.9% fee deducted
from every donation made with Paypal.

Google checkout has insisted we remove our ability to
take donations via their system. They do not allow donations to be made through
their system without a tax exempt ID. Needless to say, until we get some
assistance filing and completing a 501c, Google Checkout will not be an option.
